Description
Brilliant and provocative story-telling from the iconic murder judge, author of Sunday Times bestseller, Unlawful KillingsWhat is justice? Do our legal courts dispense it? Has our judicial process improved, for the victims, the accused and for society? What more must be done to ensure genuine justice is carried out in future?Following on the heels of her bestseller Unlawful Killings, Old Bailey judge Wendy Joseph KC skilfully reconstructs courtroom dramas affecting society's most vulnerable - so often women and children, drawing on her many years' experience as a murder trial judge, and asking the key questions of the institutions tasked to deliver what is right and fair. From the trial of a child charged with disposing of dismembered body parts, to the woman accused of killing her own husband, Joseph is utterly compelling as she sets out how our justice system works. But, as she compares these modern courtroom tales with eerily similar cases and miscarriages of justice from years ago, might the most chilling story of all be that the lessons of the past have yet to be learned?Incisive, masterfully crafted, Rough Justice illuminates the struggles of any one of us caught up in our legal system - but particularly the marginalized and the easily exploited - and grapples with the concept of 'justice for all' so that we might demand better.
